Hate the asshole bosses that pull that last ditch attack almost as much as the ones that use suicide moves like self-destruct. Don't know why I hate those the worst. Maybe because it bothers me how much they must mentally abuse their pokemon in order to bring them to that point. Bastards!

@Dante @teh_fishI don't know, guys, I don't think you should be so rough on our pals. Sure they got off to a rocky start, but when you add it all up, they won by a landslide. I know most of us were petrified when Atty switched in Rat, but you don't win your battles by being so sedimental. And of course, one simply cannot forget DT's pyrotech-onix.

Thier are 2 episodes with Onix related puns. "To Master the Onix-spected" and "Hooked on Onix." there is also "Nerves of Steelix" and "Faced with Steelix Determination" if you count it's evolved forms.

@Hadam10RoseReally? I didn't know so many people had trouble with Brock. I beat him pretty easily with Bulbasaur. I didn't even have to evolve it to Ivysaur. Misty was pretty easy too (I used Ivysaur, who had just evolved). The only Gym Leader I had trouble with was Sabrina. I had to train a little to beat her. All others Gym Leaders didn't require extra training.

@GuestYou're right. I chose the easy way, but I ALWAYS choose the Grass type starter, regardless of dificulty. Since the first generation (R/B/Y) until now (B2/W2) and even counting the remakes (FR/LG and HG/SS), I've ALWAYS chosen the Grass type starter!
